Tax Credit and Incentives Information

Goodwill is available to present information to employers on tax credits and incentives they can receive when they hire individuals from targeted groups or those who have been long-term recipients of welfare. The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) reduces employers’ costs of doing business and requires little paperwork. The success and growth of this federal income tax credit for private-sector employers depends on a strong public- and private-sector partnership to help those who are most in need to find and retain jobs and gain on-the-job skills and experience. The WOTC benefits employers and increases America’s economic growth and productivity.

Another incentive to employers is the Welfare-to-Work credit in which employers are encouraged to hire individuals who have been receiving family assistance for a long period of time. For more information, contact Amy Horwath at (814) 536-3536, ext. 287 or ahorwath@gogoodwill.org.

Online Shopping at Goodwill

Through the Shopgoodwill online auction site, you can experience a fun and exciting way to shop for specialty items such as one-of-a-kinds, collectibles, antiques, estate pieces, jewelry, nostalgic items, and more!

At Goodwill of the Southern Alleghenies, we know that our donors value their donations to Goodwill and want us to get the maximum value possible to support our mission. Listing these items on Shopgoodwill allows us to generate more revenue because these items go to the highest bidders who know the values of the items.

Donors can be sure that the revenue generated from the sale of their donated items on Shopgoodwill.com will support job training and employment services for people in their community – just as it does through purchases made in our 10 Goodwill Retail Stores.
